Massolino Barbera d'Alba, Piedmont, Italy 2022

Description

The 2022 Massolino Barbera d’Alba from Piedmont is a fresh, vibrant red that showcases the varietal’s classic charm. Deep ruby in color, it opens with bright aromas of cherry, plum, violet, and subtle herbal notes. On the palate, it’s lively and medium-bodied, with juicy red fruit, firm acidity, and gentle tannins that provide structure without heaviness.

Fermented in stainless steel, the wine retains excellent purity and freshness. It’s approachable now but has the depth to evolve over the next few years. Ideal with pasta, grilled meats, or aged cheeses, this is a polished and well-balanced Barbera with both energy and elegance.
